tolkien100Title : Exploring Valinor
Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion, History of Middle-earth
Rating : G
Characters : Indis, Feanor
Disclaimer : These are Tolkien's characters, but this is set during a time when they were getting on a little better than seen in canon.
Spoilers : None.
Summary: Feanor and Nerdanel enjoy roaming about in Valinor in their youth, but they are not the first to do so.
‘Where are you off to tomorrow, Feanaro?’ With Nerdanel, Indis meant.
Feanor gave her a slightly wary look.
‘We thought we would go to the Blue Fountain and head north-west from there.’
‘Ah,’ said Indis, ‘I went that way once.’
She cast about her for something to write on, took the dinner menu, turned it over and drew a rough map on the back, clearly marking good resting places that offered water fit to drink.
‘See? Here is how far I went. If you go farther, let me know what you find, will you?’
‘Thank you, I will,’ said Feanor.
A/N: Indis's wanderings are mentioned in the History of Middle-earth, although it is not clear how far she went. An earlier version of this, which was not a drabble, was posted during Finwean Ladies week on Tumblr. I realized that the repurposed dinner menu fit the challenge and have revised it to be 100 words.
